A recently hired Web developer will create a Web site for Perseus Books Group, including a database usable for the Web and an online catalog page that will be "dynamically generated from that database," says Tobey. Tobey is in the process of developing a group site for the six members of Perseus Book Group: Public Affairs, Basic Books, Perseus Books, Westview Press, Counterpoint Press and Civitas. All publishers, he says, are also developing their own sites independently. According to Tobey, the central feature of the group site is a searchable electronic catalog of all the Group's books. "So a lot of our time has been focused on gathering copy and graphics for the 2,500 or so in-print titles on our lists," says Tobey, "and conforming all of that information into a database that will then serve as the backbone to the online catalog."
